Not much happens in Qatar as a rule. This week was a major exception. The World Innovation Summit for Education featuring 2000 delegates took place in Doha. Michelle Obama was a keynote speaker, and there were many sessions. The highlight was the awarding of the WISE Prize for Education Laureate to Dr. Sakena Yacoobi, the founder of the Afghan Institute of Learning. She was instrumental in establishing underground schools for girls while education was banned for females under the Taliban.
